Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Live Oak Bank Campus Extension

Mr. Lee,

On July 20, 2021 (fee receipt date), the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application
requesting an Individual Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. The
Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is
on-hold until all of the following information is received:

1. The application package may require an agent authorization letter from the applicant. A
sample agent authorization letter can be found on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
website:
(http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Portals/59/docs/regulatory/regdocs/Permits/SAMPLE_AGE
NT_AUTHORIZATION_FORM.pdf). [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(11)]

2. Please provide a most recent bound and published county soil survey. Please cleanly draw or
delineate the site boundaries on the soil survey. The most recent bound and published
survey can be accessed at the following link:
https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MANUSCRIPTS/north_carolina/NC049/0/index.pdf
[15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]

3. Please confirm the impact amount for RPW Ditch. Various amounts of impact are noted
throughout the application (e.g., 0.05, 0.027, 0.08). [15A NCAC 02H .0502(c)]

4. You indicated that the USACE reevaluated the wetland delineation in April of 2021 reducing
the wetlands in the vicinity of the proposed Building 6, parking areas, and stormwater pond.
Please provide documentation from the USACE confirming this reevaluation. [15A NCAC 02H
.0502(c)]

5. Please provide an updated stormwater management plan that show drainage areas, inlets
and discharge points. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(c)]

6. The plans included in the previous authorization from 2017 show two buildings (one is
referred to as “Building 6” in the narrative, the other building number is unclear) on the
north side of the property that were sited east of the wetland. The current plans show these
building reconfigured or enlarged with Building 6 impacting the wetland. Please explain why
this reconfiguration or size increase was necessary and why the two buildings cannot be sited
without impacting the wetland as was shown in previous plans. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(c)]

7. It appears minimization can be accomplished by reducing surface parking and incorporating
those spaces into the proposed parking decks, thereby freeing area to shift the building
locations and/or enlarging the smaller, eastern stormwater management pond. Please
demonstrate why incorporating some of the surface parking space into the decks is not
feasible as a minimization strategy. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(c)]

8. You indicated the northern portion of the BR Tract is not available for use during this project
(north of future Building 8) due to being zoned residential. A review of the New Hanover
Interactive Web Map indicates this tract is part of the same tract owned by the Applicant and
containing the rest of the Live Oak Bank Campus. Please explain if this part of the BR Tract
has recently been split off from the rest of the tract. If the northeast “finger” of the BR Tract
is part of the main tract housing the Live Oak Bank Campus, please further explain why this
portion is zoned differently and unavailable for use for the proposed future buildings. [15A
NCAC 02H .0502(c)]

Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e)), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested
information for the proper consideration of the application. Please respond in writing within 30
calendar days of receipt of this letter by sending one (1) copy of all of the above requested information
to the 401 & Buffer Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 OR by
submitting all of the above requested information through this
link: https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Supplemental-Information-Form (note the DWR# requested on
the link is referenced above).

If all of the requested information is not received within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, the
Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be denied as incomplete. The denial of this
project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete application
package and the appropriate fee.

Please be aware that you have no authorization under the Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for this
activity and any work done within waters of the state may be a violation of North Carolina General
Statutes and Administrative Code.

Please contact Rick Trone at [e-mail] if you have any questions or concerns.
